If you feel that you would like to help MACS in the future you could consider naming MACS as a beneficiary in your will.

In fact many people choose to leave something behind to their favourite cause or causes when they pass away. Not only does this create a fitting legacy, it also passes on some excellent tax advantages to the charity receiving it.

Indeed legacies from committed supporters make up a very important income stream for many charities. If you do want to leave something to charity, the donation can be as small or as large as you like. However much you decide to give, you can rest assured that the charity will not have to pay Inheritance Tax on the donation.

Alternatively you may wish to leave assets to a charity by setting up a Trust. Similar tax advantages apply and the charity can start benefitting from your donation before you die.

If you feel that it would be appropriate to leave a charitable donation in your will, your solicitor will be able to advise you on the best course of action in relation to your personal circumstances.
